It will be with us into the start of the weekend too as a weak high pressure ridge over the region now shifts to the east while a trough digs into the Midwest. One weak offshore surface low pressure area likely pushes more cloudiness into portions of the region, especially RI and eastern MA, at times on Friday where it won&#8217;t be quite as warm as today. With this system offshore and part of a very weak nearly unnoticeable block, it may very likely hold back an approaching frontal system late week into the weekend from the west, keeping the unsettled weather threat minimal until sometime on Sunday. The wildcard day on this forecast is Monday. Not quite sure yet if the increase in the unsettled weather chance on Sunday persists Monday or moves off between 2 more distinctively defined systems. This will be something to monitor over the next few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TODAY: Any low clouds\/fog dissipating early followed by a sun\/cloud mix and a slight chance of isolated afternoon showers and thunderstorms, which would favor interior areas from south central NH to central MA.
